Easy Star Records has announced the release of a special anniversary edition of Dub Side of the Moon with new artwork, an in-depth liner note booklet and two bonus tracks, including “Breathe 2014” featuring additional vocals by Eric Rachmany of Rebelution, Metric Man, and Ruff Scott of the Easy Star All-Stars.

The original Dub Side of the Moon was released in 2004. The complete reggae version of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon was a tremendous success. It remained on the Billboard Reggae Charts for more than 7 years.

The sensation of Dub Side of the Moon (2003) generated a popular series of reggae tribute albums by Easy Star All-Stars, including Radiodread (2006), Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band (2009), and Easy Star’s Thrillah (2012). The Easy Star All-Stars have also released an original EP (Until That Day, 2008), an original album (First Light, 2011), and a remix of Dub Side called Dubber Side of the Moon (2010).

The Easy Star All Stars will be touring the West Coast of the United States for the Dub Steady Tour, with new labelmates Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad and Colorado’s Tatanka. The Easy Star All Stars will be performing Dub Side live in its entirety together with classic material from the band’s repertoire including original songs and tracks from the other tribute albums. Select shows will also include new animated visuals. Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad will be supporting the release of Steady, their first album on Easy Star Records, which comes out September 30.
